How much shrinkage on the first wash? If it's all cotton, should I go with an XL vs the LG?

There was almost no shrinkage at all fit just as good after washing as it did before... Hope this helps

I've washed it several times, dried in low heat and hung it up to finish. After taking out of the wash, I did physically stretch it out some to make sure it didn't shrink in the dryer anyway. Been holding up well. Bought it for my son, he wears it everywhere ! Very happy so far w/ the durability.

I have washed and dried mine several times. Have had no issues with fading or shrinking.

It's 100 percent cotton to it can be out in the washing machine. I bought a king size for a queen bed though. That way if it shrank it wouldn't be too small

Mine did not shrink even after a couple washes. I think I even ran it through the dryer but don't remember for sure.

first couple of washes should always be in cold water and use cheer or something color safe. after a couple of washes warm or hot water can be used. you won't notice shrinkage or color fade. i am size 10 and always buy large or xl - assuming over time some shrinkage.

I have the 4.9 lb. model and it came with a chart - I can wash 2 full size towels so you should be able to wash 3 - I can wash a queen size sheet set so you should be able to do a king size and I wash 2 pair of sweat pants you'll be able to do 3 - 4 tee-shirts so you can do 5 or 6 - 5 blouses so you can do 6 or 7 - hope it helps! what I have found is if I load it loose it's fine.

Hey Scott, indeed this can be washed. It's 100% cotton yet was prewashed for shrinkage so it should not shrink much if at all. I would take it to a nearby dry cleaners who will have x-large capacity machines & you can ask them to wash it on the gentle cycle & spot clean if necessary. You can also ask them to dry it on low heat to control for shrinkage. I would Not take it to a laundromat -- take it to a professional dry cleaners. :) Have a great day!

Hi there. The instructions on how to wash it are on the back of the package. It should not shrink. The instructions say "Machine wash the Protector as quickly as possible after spillage, preferably while still fresh and wet. DO NOT USE BLEACH or BLEACH ALTERNATIVE. To avoid blistering, tumble dry in the dryer at medium (or lower) temperature always together with bed linens or towels (NEVER dry the Protector alone in a dryer)." I hope that helps. :)

When purchasing anything that is cotton ALWAYS order larger....cotton will shrink every time you wash and dry it...does not matter if they claim it is preshrunk. At least this is a blend so it will not shrink as bad as 100% cotton items.

I dry at normal temperature (in my weekly loads of baby clothes) and never had shrinking issues. I think the waterproof backing on it keeps it from shrinking. We have two and they have lasted over a year for us so far with normal washing!!

Don't know how much bigger the xl is but I bought the lg and am typically somewhere around a women's size 12.The quality is not great and the pants have already ripped, though still usable

I would go with a "L" mine was an xl and fits fine. it's not tight at all. I really like it by the way. It is comfortable and not sweaty. Sometimes I even forget I am wearing the thing. I think it would be too big if you got the xl for him. Hope I am right with my info for you.

I think they would both be to big for that. I would go with the medium if they have it or small. I ordered the lg and it was extremely big.

I haven't noticed any shrinkage. I really like this bedspread and am so glad I bought it.

It will depend on how you like your gi to fit. I personally like mine a bit looser and I know others that like it snug. I personally haven't dryed mine for the fact of it shrinking as others say they shrink quite a bit. So I would either not dry it or buy an extra size bigger than you think...hope that helps!! Good luck

Its hard to judge BC I got the wrong size Lol I'm around the same measurements I'd say get an XL to be safe. Mines incredibly too big at XXL so I'm sure a L would fit okay, XL would definitely fit, maybe be a little big even

If you want to do any Layering under it like a fleece, I'd go with Xlrg. For someone your size. I find a LG perfect and am 25 lbs lighter and 6" shorter than you are. Here is an offical size chart link from Stormr that may help. http://stormrusa.com/sizing/
